My mistake, ems! I combined BobK's comment with yours and a whole different context was created! 
I think it's time for me to read a comic book while I'm sitting in the middle of a very windy superstorm!

Names of storms and hurricanes used to be given women's names. Then at some stage - I'm sure Wikipedia would supply the details - they started alternating M/F. With 'Sandy' they seem to be hedging their bets! (Maybe something to do with the storm/hurricane doubt - I've really no idea.)
